The mayor of the municipality of Kufra, Abdul Rahman Aqoub, said that the crisis of displaced Sudanese is constantly evolving, and the number of displaced people increases as the intensity of the clashes in Sudan increases, especially in the cities of Mellit and Darfur, as they are closer to Libya.

The mayor of Kufra municipality added, in an intervention with Libya Al-Ahrar channel, that the rate of infections with infectious diseases is on the rise, confirming the deportation of more than 100 infected people, according to what he said.

The mayor of the municipality, Abdul Rahman Aqoub, explained that there are obstacles facing the shelter center in transporting the injured to Sudan, stressing that there are cases that are difficult to hand over at the border triangle because there is sometimes no one to receive them, according to what he said.

Aqoub pointed out the lack of capabilities in all service sectors in the city of Kufra, and there is no place designated or prepared to receive the displaced, whose numbers were estimated at approximately a thousand people per day, especially in recent days.

The mayor of the municipality, Aqoub, pointed out the lack of any support from governments despite the correspondence, pointing to the formation of a committee headed by the Libyan ambassador to Sudan, Fawzi Bouamrez, and the membership of the mayor of Kufra and some security and foreign agencies. The meeting took place once in Tripoli, but it did not find any support, according to him.

Aqoub pointed out that the health sector needs special support, explaining that the number of people in Kufra has increased to more than double its population in the recent period, according to him.
